Glass Onion. There was a lot of pandemic humor. There’s probably a bunch more that fit this category.
War of the Worlds (2025)
Another one? But… Why?
Frankly that’s a movie that should never be remade. The original is of it’s time, like the story. No need to go revamping it.
Oh man, is this the first you’re hearing of it? It’s so bad it isn’t even worth hate watching. I almost turned it off hallway through but I needed to know if it got better (it didn’t)
The gist is Ice Cube works at the NSA or similar and has Watch Dogs style hacking on everyone which he then uses to coordinate an anti alien-invasion attack from Microsoft Teams (they really want you to know it’s Microsoft teams). Thats basically the whole plotline
It was worth hate watching, in my opinion. I was openly laughing at the product placement by the end.
That sounds like one of those movies that’s so bad it’s good.
That feels exactly how it was for me. Wanted to stop but had this morbid fascination with it.
War of the worlds 2005 fits the bill too. Feels like it’s from the 90s.
What makes you say that?
It strikes me as a quintessential post-9/11 movie, just like Independence Day’s rah-rah, feel-good American exceptionalism feels intrinsically tied to the mid to late 90s. Dated, sure, but dated to the period of its release. However, I don’t know if I’ve seen it since release, so perhaps I’m misremembering aspects.

Don’t Look Up was dated the moment it was released. The most notable part was when a President was caught in a lie and her supporters immediately turned on her. We already had ample evidence that that wouldn’t happen.
The movie would’ve been okay if it was released 10 years earlier, but by the time it came out we’d seen real-world situations that were similar enough to what it depicted that the movie became hopelessly tone-deaf.
That movie just didn’t click with me. It all felt overacted and ham fisted and still felt like it didn’t know what it wanted to be.

Most movies tbh, it’s really hard for bad/meh and even good movies not to become dated
